The BABAR experiment has discovered a new narrow state, D^*_{sJ}(2317)^+, near 2.32 GeV in the inclusive D_s^+ pi^0 invariant mass distribution from e^+e^- annihilation data at energies near 10.6 GeV. The same experiment has also shown…
We present a study of the decays B0 -> D0 K*0 and B0 -> barD0 K*0 with K*0 -> K+pi-. The D0 and the barD0 mesons are reconstructed in the final states f=K+pi-, K+pi-pi0, K+pi-pi+pi- and their charge conjugates. Using a sample of 465 million…
We search for decays of a B meson into a neutral D meson and a kaon, with the D meson decaying into K+pi-pi0. This final state can be reached through the b --> c transition B- -> D0K- followed by the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed D0 -->…

We report on the study of the decay $B^+ \to D^0(\bar{D0}) K^+$ where $D^0$ and $\bar{D0}$ decaying to $K \pi \pi^0$, with the Atwood Dunietz and Soni (ADS) method. We measure the ratios Rads, $R^+$, $R^-$ since the processes $B^+ \to D^0…
LHCb observes the $B^+_c \to D^0 K^+$ decay with $R_{D^0 K} = f_c/f_u \times {\cal B}(B^+_c \to D^0 K^+)=(9.3^{+2.8}_{-2.5} \pm 0.6)\times 10^{-7}$. The corresponding branching ratio (BR) of the decay can be estimated as ${\cal B}(B^+_c \to…
In this research the weak decay of $B^+_c$ decays to the $K^+K^-\pi^+$ final state, which is observed by LHCb collaboration for the first time, is calculated in the quasi-two-body decays which takes into account the $B^0_s$, $\chi_{c0}$ and…
The experimental information on b --> s l^+ l^- decays has grown enormously during the last couple of years due to BaBar, Belle, CDF and LHCb. Especially, exclusive modes B --> K^(*) l^+ l^-, which have the largest rate and are easily…
We report evidence for the $b\to u$ transition $B^0 \to D_s^{+}\pi^-$ and the results of a search for $B^0 \to D_s^{*+} \pi^-$ from a sample of $61.6\times 10^6$ $Y(4S)$ decays into $B$ meson pairs collected with the BaBar detector at the…
In the present work, we investigate the productions of the molecular states composed of $D^{(*)}_s \bar{D}^{(*)}$ and $D^{(*)}_s \bar{D}^{(*)}_s$ in the $B$ and $B_s$ decays by using an effective Lagrangian approach. The branching ratios in…
Searches are presented for $B_{c}^{+} \to D h^+ h^-$ decays, where $D$ is a charmed meson and $h^{\pm}$ is a charged pion or kaon, using $pp$ collision data collected by the LHCb experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of…
Theoretical remarks are offered regarding recent hadron collider results on the mixing and decays of $B_s$ mesons. Topics covered include: (1) CP-violating mixing in $B_s(\ob_s) \to J/\psi \phi$, (2) the D0 dimuon charge asymmetry, (3)…
We present a study of the decays B^{+-} --> D K^{+-} with D mesons reconstructed in the K+pi-pi0 or K-pi+pi0 final states, where D indicates a D0 or a anti-D0 meson. Using a sample of 474 million BBbar pairs collected with the BaBar…
I briefly describe the use of the three-body decay modes $B^0 \to D^{(*)-} D^{(*)0} K^+$ to investigate open issues in charmed meson spectroscopy, and of the time dependent $B^0 (\bar {B^0}) (t) \to D^{-} D^{+} \pi^0$ transitions for a…
The BaBar collaboration has recently reported the observation of the decay mode $B^-\to D_s^+ K^- \pi^-$. We investigate the role played by the $D^{\star\star}$ resonances in this decay mode using HQET. Although these resonances cannot…
LHCb, bolstered up by the 10^12 b-hadrons produced yearly, is an excellent place to study rare B decays. The B_s to mu^+ mu^- decay, generated by flavour-changing neutral current, is strongly suppressed within the Standard Model (SM).…
We search for B- ==> \tilde{D0}K- and B- ==> \tilde{D*0}K-, with \tilde{D*0} ==> \tilde{D0}pi0 or \tilde{D*0} ==> \tilde{D0}gamma, and \tilde{D0} ==> K+pi- (and charge conjugates). These final states can be reached through the b==>c…
The status of possible new-physics signals in B_s,d-meson mixing and decay is reviewed. In particular, it is emphasized that the recent LHCb results, that find no evidence for a non-standard phase in B_s-barB_s mixing, make a consistent…
Lately, the LHCb Collaboration reported the discovery of two new states in the $B^+\rightarrow D^+D^- K^+$ decay, i.e., $X_0(2866)$ and $X_1(2904)$. In the present work, we study whether these states can be understood as $D^*\bar{K}^*$…
We recall the predictions made ten years ago about a bound state of $J^P=0^+$ in $I=0 $ of the $D^* \bar{K}^*$ system, which is manifestly exotic, and we associate it to the $X_0(2866)$ state reported in the recent LHCb experiment. Fine…
